Solved Bios update after format

[wayrus]

Hi, do i need to update the BIOS everytime i format the hd and reinstall windows?

No.
The bios is embedded in a chip on the motherboard and is not affected by any other computer changes.

Welcome to the forum.

The BIOS should not be updated unless the update addresses a specific problem you are having. The risks of this failing are relatively small but have potentially very serious consequences.

Formatting and reinstalling the OS does not effect the BIOS in any way.
